We can’t live without love and we know what love is, but we don’t say only humans know what love is. Yes, it’s impossible for animals to do some things because of their physical body. However, sometimes some of them might be able to show us the love that we have forgotten on our “busy road”, just like the following story.
A dog, was knocked down by a car and died in the middle of the road. Later, another dog ran beside the body of the dead dog and he tried to wake his friend up using his legs. When his effort to wake up his friend failed, he tried to push his friend to the roadside. But his friend was too heavy for him to push.
Though traffic was busy and dangerous, he wouldn’t want to go away from his friend, just standing beside his friend shouting and crying.
A lot of people saw this story and were very touched (感動(dòng)的). Even a dog can show his loyalty (忠誠(chéng)) and love to his friend, what can our humans do?

Dear Alice,
I just received your letter. And I was very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and wanted to be a model （模特）.
Being a model for a living is not easy. In fact, a famous person like me has a lot of problems that you couldn’t see. I can’t eat what I like, even though I’m very hungry. Keeping thin makes me look more beautiful on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model.
Besides, I have to wear a heavy coat in the hot sun, in a swimming suit in the cold air. And practicing walking nicely every day is tiring for me.
You might say I made much money from modeling. But my dear niece （侄女）, you have to know that money is, nothing, knowledge is everything. School is important and everyone should go to school for a certain period of time. The longer they stay at school, the better they will be. Very often, I hope I can give up my job and continue my studies at school. But it is very difficult for me to go back to school again. I am too old to go back to school now.
You are a pretty young girl with a bright future. You only have one year to finish your studies in high school. A year is really short. Please do consider my words carefully before you decide. Of course, there is only one thing I care about, and that is your happiness.
Love,
Emma

When you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory (記憶 )  works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it.  When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault (過(guò)錯(cuò)).  But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed (責(zé)備 ) , and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write but they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook.  They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.
小題1: Someone can’t have a good memory if _     
A．his parents don't have a good memory
B．he can't read or write
C．he doesn’t use his memory
D．he doesn't use his arms or legs for some time
小題2: If you do not use your arms or legs for some time,                    _
A．they become weak and wont become strong until you use them again
B．they will become stronger
C．they become weak but they slowly become strong again
D．you cant use them any more
小題3: Which of the following is true?
A．Your memory works in the different way as your arms or legs.
B．Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance
to practice.
C． Don't learn how to read or write if you want to have a better memory.
D．A good memory comes from less practice.
小題4: Few people know that it is only _     if a friend has a poor memory.
A．his grandmother's faultB．his parents fault
C．his teachers’ faultD．his own fault
小題5: The writer wants to tell us________ .
A．how to have a good memoryB．how to read and write
C．how to use our arms or legsD．how to learn from the people
